Great Duck Island Lighthouse is located just south of Frenchman Bay on the coast of Maine. The lighthouse was established in 1890 and over the years several of the buildings were destroyed. Today, the island is a bird sanctuary and the Bar Harbor College cares for the lighthouse and other out buildings. I especially liked the view of the lighthouse and the ocean beyond while standing in the thick field of flowers and bushes. It is the perfect day; a clear blue sky, a brisk wind whipping over the island and, of course, the sound of the sea birds that call Great Duck Island home.
